So recently, uh, a video went pretty viral on the internet, and Kansas, you actually tweeted about it. Something about Shashuka. I'm saying that right. So Nick, if you can pull a video, we're going to just have the panel react to it. And then before you go full screen on that. So Matt Walsh posted it and I saw this everywhere. I saw it yesterday, her life doesn't revolve around her family and kids. So instead it revolves around TV shows and pop stars.
Worst of all, she's too stupid to realize how depressing this is. And then Candace, quote, tweeted. don't know anymore He, okay, quote, xed it. This is what this is what was future. Wait, this is what was okay. This is what a future, sorry. Future Depression's annex and wine combo nights alone looks like. But hey, the Shashuka. be amazing. So let's play the video, Nick, if you can go full screen on it, and then we'll get the panels reaction.
Phanix Wine Nights. It's 1040. I'll have to see him on Saturday. I'm 29 and single and I don't have kids yet. Here's what your Saturday morning looks like when you're single at 29 and you don't have a kid running around the house. I didn't rise from my bed until 1015. Every time I thought, I should probably get up and do something. I thought, why? Nobody's making me, and I'm not missing out on anything. I went to Beyonce last night, and I didn't get home until 1 a.m.
And I danced and drank my little heart out, and I didn't pay a babysitter to watch my kids as I did that. And I woke up a tad hungover this morning, just probably why I was in bed for so long, and I was just scrolling on my phone, and I saw a picture of Shaq Shuka, and I thought, you know, it sounds really good. Maybe I'm gonna learn how to make Shakshuka today, because I have no plans, and I don't have kids, and I don't have a husband and I don't have errands to run.
I can go to the grocery store and learn how to make Shakshuka. So that's on my agenda today. Also, on my agenda, probably a rewatch of some Real Housewives of New York. I'm also doing a rewatch of normal people on Hulu, which is really spicy and I highly recommend. Probably I'm into this documentary on Netflix about Blue Zone countries. So I've got a pretty stacked day. Anyway, I say all this to say. Whenever I'm hard on myself about why I'm not married, and I don't have kids, and I should be further along at 29, almost 30.
I wouldn't want to do anything else this Saturday. I know that you can do all these things when you have kids, and you're married, and I understand, but the effortlessness and ease of my life, just kind of focusing on myself, and the Shakshuk I want to make, or the Beyonce concert I want to go to, really pays off when I'm hard on myself for not being where society tells me I should be in life. I thought I thought it was gonna be really her going.
Shut, shut, shut. So, um, what, why do you guys think that this video went kind of crazy viral and what, what's the analysis here? I mean, it went crazy viral because Matt Walsh tweeted it. Let's be real. That would have just gone into the ethosphere on TikTok and no one would have talked about it had he not picked that up and tweeted it. What was Matt? I don't know if Matt Walsh was like the 1st person. Oh, was he really?
Okay, I didn't I didn't know that. But I guess my, what's interesting to me is that this woman has actually even said, you know, she gives herself a hard time. She wants to be married. She wants to have children. So I don't think that it's right to demonize her and act like she's gonna have a depressing life when she just hasn't found the right person because clearly she wants those things. and she's trying to make herself feel better, and other people in that community feel better about not being that far along.
Because, like you said, you wanted people to settle down with the right person, take their time, figure out if that's the right person. So just 'cause she's 29, you're saying that it's, like, too late for her, and she's gonna be doing Xanax and drinking wine at night because she hasn't reached that point yet. I didn't say that, so my tweet said. You said the future. Yeah, because she's obviously a narcissist, right?
Why would you 1st and foremost, let's not let's not pretend this is one video that she made. It's her brand on TikTok. It's her brand on social media. She talks about these are this community known as dinks. We're happy and we're childless. She talks about how great it is to be childish. So she has developed these. a social media influencer that talks about childlessness. So let's not pretend this is one woman making a video who just said, oh, I had a great Saturday.
There's absolutely no reason if you had a great Saturday at 29 years old and you learned to make Shashuka and you slept in at 11 until 1115 or 10, 15, whatever she said, that you need to bring up children. Is that absolutely no reason. You just say, here's what I did today. I laid in all day. I did this, I did that. The fact that she has to correlate it to saying, and this somehow makes me better than people that have children is the problem.
She started. She literally goes on to talk about not having children. It wasn't necessary in this video. So it's not like people are just shaming single women on the internet. You could go on right now and talk about what you've done all day and there's no reason to bring up, but, you know, having a child or not. She's actually doing the shaming, and now we're trying to pretend that she's the victim. She's not. She has a brand where she talks about childlessness and she talks about leaning into selfishness and all the things that are amazing about not having children.
Again, this is not the 1st video that she's produced. So the reason why, and if you're a man watching this, don't marry this woman. She's basically telling you she's selfish, she's telling you she's a narcissist. Everything she says is about me, me, me, me. Even if you're single, you don't have to make your whole day revolve around you. You don't have to. You can get up in the morning. You can go help others. You can do other things.
You can say, now that I have free time as a single woman. I can go dedicate time to the church. I can sing. I can do this. I can help people find God. That particular woman that you just looked at is a selfish bitch and men shouldn't mention not marry her. That's my personal opinion. You wanted to come in really? Yes. I wanted to answer your question real quick as to, you said why it went viral. I think it went viral because it's like nowadays.
It's like, it's relatable in our day and age. You know what I mean? Like 22, 23 years old. I don't know how old this girl is, but like 29 or whatever, but in my day and age, like it's relatable to be like, ha ha, we don't got kids, like, fuck them kids. You know what I mean? It's like I'm glad you're admitting that. It's like that. I'm glad you're admitting that. It's like a term that people use, you know what I mean?
And it's like, it's just relatable. Like, that's why it gets so many views, is what, to answer your question. I think that's really honest of you to say that. You wanted to come and go? Fuck them kids. Yeah. No, I said quote. I was going to do what they say. Yeah, but you're admitting that that so that she's starting the fight. at people that are moms that are trending. when I'm with my kids, I don't post videos and say F them single chicks with no kids.
Right. She did the baiting, okay? And we responded. That's it. I know. Like it's a new friend, I would say. hold on. go ahead, go ahead. The 1st thing I noticed about the video was that she was putting people with kids down. It'd be fine if she was talking about how her day was and swarting it differently, but it seemed like almost immediately from the beginning of the video that she was belittling people with kids, which I think is like the part of the problem.
Pixie go ahead. Yeah, no, I think this is like up to interpretation because personally when I saw that video, my interpretation was like, oh, she's putting herself down because she's saying like, oh, you know, when I tell myself why am I not further along in life, you know, it's okay because at least I'm enjoying these things. So I could definitely see, like, depending on how you're looking at it or if you have further context, why you would think she's putting kids down.
But when I saw that video by itself, I was thinking like people are kind of going a little bit overboard in the sense that she says she's being harsh on herself. She doesn't have children and these are just the things that have made her happy today. And I don't think that by itself without additional context is inherently wrong. Anybody else? Tara, do you? Yeah. Did they say it right this time? Yeah. Okay, okay. I mean, I don't know the background of what other types of content in messaging she puts out, but just from that video alone.
I don't think I, she ever, to me, I never got the impression she was shaming people that did, that women that were married at kids, it felt like she felt bad that she wasn't already there and she was just trying to be optimistic about it. And so I think it sounded more like her content was about making women who are childless and not married yet and are approaching the end of their reprotective years to like look on the bright side, but I really, and I'm the, I, all my friends know.
I'm like so eager and ready for like marriage and kids, but, um, I really honestly just didn't get that impression from that video alone that it was, she was in any way. So when she was talking about, I got to go to a Beyonce concert and I didn't have to pay for a babysitter. You don't think that was a little, it's so selfish of her to say that. Yeah, but I think selfish. And she was being rude. And if it was flipped and a conservative woman with children said the opposite of that to single women.
It would blow up. It would blow up. And they would say, how rude of you to eat? are you even mentioning single women? Just say your hat you had a good day with your kids. That's fine. I woke up, went to the park, my kids did that. Okay, chill. Why are you correlating it to children? It doesn't, you know, doesn't make any sense. And like I said, she's produced more content. So that the context is important. She's leaned into this as a brand and as an influencer.
So, you know, then you're going to expect people that influence people to have families to respond, Matt Walsh being among them, me being among them. And I do would like to, again, warn men against marrying a woman who holds those sorts of perspectives because she's ultimately just selfish. Like I said, you can have a day and you can be single. You don't have to dedicate your whole, me, me, me, me, narcissist, me. Here's what I did for me.
It's just not a woman that you want to marry full stop, leaving apart, leaving the kids totally separate from it. I wouldn't marry a woman like that. And all I'm saying is like, it is. It's sad, but it's crazy that, like, it's a trend. You know what I mean? Like, that's why they're getting so many views on TikTok or Instagram or whatever they're posting these things on. It's like, it's a trend. And yeah, like, you know, it's crazy.
Just a show of hands. Who here wants to have kids one day? More, yeah. It's my third, but... Besides Kansas, does anyone here have kids? You got kids? How many? I have a son. He's 21. Okay, gotcha. He's perfect. I'm good. Okay. But one thing I noticed, a trend, like, I agree that it's a trend, and she's doing that to brand herself and go viral and get a lot of attention and maybe monetize that. When I talk with other girls and they're younger, and I'll say, are you married?
Are you planning on having children? Sometimes that's a hot button for them. And it's maybe perhaps, you know, these kind of trends are like the, it's a rebellious thing because sometimes it's expected for for people to get married out of the gate and have children and that kind of traditional lifestyle. If it's an expectation that parents have that they put on their children and younger generations aren't having it, especially these days when it's so hard to, I mean, it's so expensive, people are having to work a lot, you know, I mean, that's just one thing I've noticed, a little pushback on that question, even when I ask it.
And I love children. Gotcha. And did I don't recall if you had a response to Candace or... I mean, I was just gonna say the opposite content does exist. And I would say that it's more prevalent and usually there's more of it than there is the opposite. And whatever community she wants to represent. I think that somebody that is single, and obviously, like I said, she closed out the video saying, I know that women that are married and have children can do all of these things as well, but this is what makes me feel better because I'm not that far along.
And I think if she's giving comfort and solace to women that want to be in that position and aren't quite there yet, whether you took it that way or not, I think that that's okay. I don't think anything that she did in there was meant to be charitable. It was all about her, so, I mean, just a different interpretation, but I'm just happy that you were honestly admitted that it is becoming trendy to put down women. Like, yeah.
Yeah. And but by the way, speaking to what you were saying about it being an act of rebellion, I used to be a feminist. If you had found me, you're 22, right? Found me at 22, I would have probably had the same perspectives as you about family. It is something different and you will realize that when it's someone that's 29 years old in saying that. It's not the same intention. It's not, I'm young, I'm free, I'm wild, and I think I'm going to live forever.
What she's doing is something different. And also just recently today, actually, uh, Emily, Emma Robert Shakowski came out with a quote about, I think, getting divorced before your 30 is chic. That's something else. And that a woman at 22. everyone at 29 saying something that is appropriate when you're at 21 or 22, it's a little different. And she knew what she was doing. It was intentional. And like I said, if you look into our content, this is not some innocent woman that was posting just to boost herself up on the internet.
She's trying to get clicks, she's trying to get views and she got them. for better or worse.
