00:00:11.051 --> 00:00:17.856
Hello, homies, and welcome to another episode of Easily Entertained with Maddie McClain.
00:00:17.856 --> 00:00:35.383
I am your host, your dutiful pop culture sherpa, your girly pop, your bestie whatever you want to call me, as long as it's nice here to break down the latest in pop culture, hollywood and the entertainment world at large.
00:00:35.383 --> 00:00:38.048
I just really wanted to say at large.
00:00:38.048 --> 00:00:46.192
I feel like if you add that on to the end of a sentence, generally it makes whatever you have to say sound a whole lot smarter.
00:00:46.192 --> 00:00:52.151
Somehow, someway, we have made it to the month of April in 2025.
00:00:52.151 --> 00:00:56.466
So if you're listening to this beyond April 2025, hello from the past.
00:00:56.466 --> 00:00:59.232
And if you're listening to it right now, baby hello.
00:00:59.232 --> 00:01:02.124
Isn't it wild that it's April?
00:01:02.124 --> 00:01:10.085
I know that this is what everyone has to say, I think by law at the beginning of every month is can you believe it?
00:01:10.085 --> 00:01:13.600
It's inter-month here, or can you believe it?
00:01:13.600 --> 00:01:19.843
It's already Wednesday, you know, and everybody feels that way, though it's not always fake, I'm sure.
00:01:19.843 --> 00:01:21.265
There are plenty of times where it is.
00:01:21.265 --> 00:01:31.573
However, the physics of time, I don't even think that's what it is here, as time goes on in hours like a shorter portion of your life.
00:01:31.573 --> 00:01:35.884
Anyways, back to the subject at hand April Fool's Day.
00:01:35.884 --> 00:01:41.834
I would be born on a month that begins with one giant punked episode.
00:01:41.834 --> 00:01:45.876
Basically, I'm always terrified to go out in public on April Fool's Day.
00:01:45.876 --> 00:01:48.102
You never know what's lurking out there.
00:01:48.102 --> 00:01:53.013
And historically, I'm one of the more gullible people out there.
00:01:53.013 --> 00:01:56.268
My siblings always told me I'm the youngest of four.
00:01:56.268 --> 00:01:58.293
I don't know if that is also just.
00:01:58.293 --> 00:02:06.332
Perhaps I signed a legally binding contract that all babies with older siblings must receive while in the womb.
00:02:06.332 --> 00:02:10.867
That means they have to be gullible when they exit the womb.
00:02:10.867 --> 00:02:17.168
So that's how I exited the womb a gullible girly, which makes April Fool's Day.
00:02:17.168 --> 00:02:24.271
Well, I'm everyone's favorite target and now that you know, now that I've placed that target on myself, it's just going to keep going.
00:02:24.271 --> 00:02:26.763
Now that you know, now that I've placed that target on myself, it's just going to keep going.
00:02:26.763 --> 00:02:29.907
I will never, ever forget about this till the day I die.
00:02:30.828 --> 00:02:36.795
So it was not on April Fool's Day proper, I don't believe, but it was a prank.
00:02:36.795 --> 00:02:39.201
It was at some point in high school.
00:02:39.201 --> 00:02:47.705
We're walking around the campus, I think like leaving lunch or something, and the guys in front of us are like whispering and doing their you know high school dude thing.
00:02:47.705 --> 00:02:56.760
Right, I noticed they're like obviously talking about whoever's walking a ways in front of them, and they nudge one of the guys at the time we're going to call him Jim.
00:02:56.760 --> 00:03:05.293
They nudge Jim and Jim races up to who looks like their guy friend, troy, up ahead.
00:03:05.293 --> 00:03:27.735
So Jim's running up to Troy and grabs Troy from behind and gives him a noogie and then stops and everyone starts cracking up and screaming because that was not Troy, it was not his buddy Troy, it was the assistant principal at the time, who everyone did not, was not a fan of yeah.
00:03:27.735 --> 00:03:31.425
So he immediately red faced.
00:03:31.425 --> 00:03:35.734
I mean, the look on his face was out of a movie and that was hilarious.
00:03:35.734 --> 00:03:49.126
Hopefully that wasn't a you had to be there story, because if it was, I apologize first of all, but second of all I'll make up for it Because I thought let's look up some prank stories, shall we?
00:03:49.246 --> 00:03:53.334
Let's hear some good ones, and none other than Reddit.
00:03:53.334 --> 00:03:58.831
Reddit is a treasure trove of stories and off-the-wall comments.
00:03:58.831 --> 00:04:03.560
So you know, just giving you a major heed of warning if you've never used Reddit somehow.
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:08.616
Giving you a major heed of warning if you've never used Reddit somehow.
00:04:08.616 --> 00:04:13.204
First one we have One year for April Fool's.
00:04:13.224 --> 00:04:15.332
The local newspaper posted an article about a truck full of wine bottles that had crashed.
00:04:15.332 --> 00:04:20.468
The article stated that wine was spilling everywhere and they didn't want it to go to waste so anyone could bring buckets to fill.
00:04:20.468 --> 00:04:24.185
One guy at my dad's work saw the article and ran out.
00:04:24.185 --> 00:04:25.971
All the people at work laughed at him.
00:04:25.971 --> 00:04:30.375
Halfway to the place where the truck supposedly was, the guy realized his mistake.
00:04:30.375 --> 00:04:40.572
He then went and bought a couple of cheap wine bottles which he emptied into the bucket he had brought with him and then walked back into work tricking a couple of other people to run out for this wine truck.
00:04:40.572 --> 00:04:42.661
I like it.
00:04:42.661 --> 00:04:44.947
Flip the script, uno, reverse.
00:04:44.947 --> 00:04:47.213
I'm going to lock that in for next time.
00:04:47.213 --> 00:04:49.245
Just play the person on their own prank.
00:04:49.245 --> 00:04:50.447
Here's another one.
00:04:50.809 --> 00:04:53.521
We had an IT guy at work that could not keep a secret.
00:04:53.521 --> 00:04:54.704
He was famous for it.
00:04:54.704 --> 00:04:56.889
It earned him the nickname Loose Lips.
00:04:56.889 --> 00:05:02.086
Anyway, one day my boss security did not come in because of another obligation.
00:05:02.086 --> 00:05:11.567
Loose Lips, who worked constantly on our high-tech security system, asked where he was and my work partner, in a moment of inspiration, said I can't tell you.
00:05:11.567 --> 00:05:14.588
Loose Lips became excited and begged.
00:05:14.588 --> 00:05:17.709
Finally, partner, that's the nickname they're giving.
00:05:17.709 --> 00:05:29.209
The boss quote caved and swore Loose Lips to secrecy Then told him our supervisor was on his way to Moncton to collect the 10 million dollars he won the night before in a lottery Absolute BS.
00:05:29.711 --> 00:05:35.031
We had a great time using our security cameras tracking him going from cubicle to cubicle, from building to building.
00:05:35.031 --> 00:05:38.494
We kept our supervisor informed by text of the developments.
00:05:38.494 --> 00:05:39.779
He was amused to say the least.
00:05:39.779 --> 00:05:41.904
But mid-afternoon we got a text from him.
00:05:41.904 --> 00:05:45.333
Loose-lipped nose, I just texted him instead of you by mistake.
00:05:45.333 --> 00:05:50.086
Sure enough, the cameras revealed a fuming loose-lip stomping towards the security building.
00:05:50.086 --> 00:05:52.125
He charged in, swore at us.
00:05:52.125 --> 00:05:53.370
He was not a happy camper.
00:05:53.370 --> 00:05:56.685
But wait, my partner said we swore to you to secrecy.
00:05:56.685 --> 00:05:57.668
Who did you tell?
00:05:57.668 --> 00:05:58.802
Loose-lips?
00:05:58.802 --> 00:05:59.807
His shoulders sagged.
00:05:59.807 --> 00:06:01.547
I told everybody he moaned.
00:06:01.547 --> 00:06:06.343
Told everybody he moaned.
00:06:06.343 --> 00:06:07.387
Well, now you'd better go tell them all the truth.
00:06:07.387 --> 00:06:08.632
Yeah, I guess Much hilarity watching him retrace his steps.
00:06:08.632 --> 00:06:13.367
The great thing is, a gag depended on his own character fault to be successful, and it was a great success.
00:06:13.367 --> 00:06:15.411
By the way, he didn't improve.
00:06:15.411 --> 00:06:20.668
That's another flip the script, except they just proved themselves.
00:06:20.988 --> 00:06:29.791
In my college dorms, rooms were organized into suites of four rooms, eight people that had a private bathroom, living room, balcony and hallway.
00:06:29.791 --> 00:06:35.533
Each suite was permanently locked from the main hallway so you needed a key or needed to knock to get it.
00:06:35.533 --> 00:06:38.964
Me and my roommate had a bunch of friends in another suite.
00:06:38.964 --> 00:06:46.932
We lived with them the previous year but left them for a 10th floor amazing view and one night we went to their suite to return a borrowed Xbox controller.
00:06:46.932 --> 00:06:55.394
Upon leaving, we duct taped thin cardboard over the hole that the doorknob latch goes into, thus making the door closed but unlocked.
00:06:55.394 --> 00:07:03.213
We came back at like 3 in the morning when we were sure they were all asleep and we placed on the toilet in the bathroom stall a dummy that we made.
00:07:03.213 --> 00:07:11.052
He was made of jeans, shoes and a hoodie all bought from Value Village, whatever that is stuffed with crumpled newspaper.
00:07:11.052 --> 00:07:15.307
His quote head was a plastic bag stuffed with newspaper.
00:07:15.307 --> 00:07:17.961
Then we locked the stall door from the inside.
00:07:18.543 --> 00:07:28.466
The next morning the girl that had spent the night there awkwardly waited over half an hour for the quote guy in the stall to leave but ended up just walking down to the lobby to use the restroom.
00:07:28.466 --> 00:07:33.447
A guy sat in the stall next to the quote occupied one and attempted to make small talk.
00:07:33.447 --> 00:07:44.565
Then, feeling really awkward when the guy wouldn't respond, a number of suitemates tried to figure out who's been in the bathroom so long, and when they talked about it together they realized that it had been hours.
00:07:44.565 --> 00:07:50.742
One of them finally took the risk of peering in the crack and they had a good laugh about it and called us to talk.
00:07:50.742 --> 00:07:52.528
They knew it must have been my roommate and I.
00:07:52.528 --> 00:07:54.192
There's a part two.
00:07:54.192 --> 00:07:59.189
That last prank was then used as a setup to this next prank.
00:07:59.649 --> 00:08:04.846
I snuck into their suite again with the help of my roommate, this time at a normal time like five o'clock in the evening.
00:08:04.846 --> 00:08:12.009
However, I was dressed in the same shoes, jeans and hoodie as our dummy, stuffed with some extra newspaper to make me crumply.
00:08:12.009 --> 00:08:17.586
I even had the plastic bag with newspaper over my head, with room to breathe, don't worry.
00:08:17.586 --> 00:08:21.841
I sat on a toilet for maybe 20 minutes, this time with the door unlocked.
00:08:21.841 --> 00:08:24.466
Then someone noticed my shoes and looked in the stall gap.
00:08:24.466 --> 00:08:28.372
He went to some other guys to show them that Gabe and Ryan did it again.
00:08:28.372 --> 00:08:34.301
When he came back with other guys, they opened the stall door and one of them reached forward to grab what they thought was the dummy.
00:08:34.301 --> 00:08:38.990
So I grabbed him back, stood up and screamed, and they screamed.
00:08:38.990 --> 00:08:40.214
It was hilarious.
00:08:41.841 --> 00:08:42.543
I like that one.
00:08:42.543 --> 00:08:44.229
I like that one a lot.
00:08:44.229 --> 00:08:45.933
It doesn't really hurt you.
00:08:45.933 --> 00:08:54.472
It's a good one because it's it's somewhat innocent, you know I I mean there's nothing like somehow.
00:08:54.472 --> 00:09:06.385
It's still wholesome, the wholesome joy and laughter of seeing someone else get pranked or scared and they let out like a little crazy shriek and then you know if it's not too scary.
00:09:06.385 --> 00:09:08.369
It's pretty hilarious to see.
00:09:08.389 --> 00:09:17.187
Oh, this one is good, okay, my friend and his girlfriend recently got engaged.
00:09:17.187 --> 00:09:21.124
As an engagement gift, a bunch of us got together to buy a portrait for them.
00:09:21.124 --> 00:09:29.386
We bought the portrait from this guy named Picasso, who's famous for drawing portraits with his ding dong.
00:09:29.386 --> 00:09:33.660
The portrait even came with a video of him drawing it with his ding dong.
00:09:33.660 --> 00:09:36.326
Neither one of them has ever seen this video.
00:09:36.326 --> 00:09:44.364
When we gave the painting to them, they were all really excited and we told them that the paints had a taste to them and that they should give it a lick and smell it.
00:09:44.364 --> 00:09:49.594
They must have tried licking that stupid portrait for at least five minutes before giving up.
00:09:49.594 --> 00:09:55.092
Oh, they currently have their portrait hanging in their living room above the fireplace.
00:09:55.092 --> 00:10:05.231
We do not plan to give them the DVD of him painting their faces with his wang for at least a few years DVD, and now you really, you really are looking at 12 year old stories.
00:10:05.231 --> 00:10:14.390
So every time one of us comes over we get a nice chuckle at the Wang painting they have so proudly hung on their wall Proudly hung.
00:10:19.383 --> 00:10:24.447
I would love to hear your favorite prank stories, whether they involve you or not.
00:10:24.447 --> 00:10:37.710
So if you want to share any that I can read on the next episode, feel free to press send us a text which you can find in the episode show notes and that will take you directly to chat with us.
00:10:37.710 --> 00:10:42.947
I'm so happy we started to get our first ones in and it's fun to read y'all's messages.
00:10:42.947 --> 00:10:46.253
So keep it up, homies, keep it up Now.
00:10:46.253 --> 00:10:54.072
While I was on Reddit, naturally, I just kept scrolling and it gave me an idea for this next little segment.
00:10:54.134 --> 00:11:02.462
Here we're going to talk about some of the most ridiculous specific celebrity requests, sometimes called writers.
00:11:02.462 --> 00:11:10.547
So if a musician is on tour, they'll give off this writer or piece of paper that basically tells them.
00:11:10.547 --> 00:11:27.403
It's basically an instruction set, almost like a branding guideline for my marketing peeps out there, but basically requesting all the shit that they want in their green room to notes on how they want the sound guys to handle, you know the live production throughout the show, lighting, all that kind of thing.
00:11:27.403 --> 00:11:35.990
But the most exciting pieces of information in these writers are the kind of wacky requests that celebrities will make.
00:11:35.990 --> 00:11:40.583
Because I'm nosy and want to know such things, I figured maybe you do too.
00:11:40.583 --> 00:11:45.451
Think of me as a little Dumois moment here.
00:11:45.451 --> 00:11:53.413
All of this is just read directly from what's put on the internet, so nothing is confirmed as truth, necessarily.
00:11:53.413 --> 00:11:55.899
But I don't know.
00:11:55.899 --> 00:11:58.884
Where there's smoke, there's usually fire.
00:11:58.884 --> 00:12:06.456
Okay, so Joe Jonas has asked for 12 puppies backstage and apparently he has confirmed that one.
00:12:06.456 --> 00:12:08.548
He did indeed ask for 12 puppies.
00:12:09.340 --> 00:12:17.429
Kanye asked for Carmex everywhere he goes, and one time he asked for a specific type of water that the employees had to go to another city to find.
00:12:17.429 --> 00:12:19.928
I mean, that's not really that shocking.
00:12:19.928 --> 00:12:23.280
Kevin Hart requests five women, what?
00:12:23.280 --> 00:12:27.231
Between the ages of 21 through 27 with an athletic build.
00:12:27.231 --> 00:12:30.307
Well, that's his type right there.
00:12:30.307 --> 00:12:35.989
Beyonce asked for her room to be kept at 78 degrees the whole time she was in it.
00:12:35.989 --> 00:12:38.534
That's really warm.
00:12:38.534 --> 00:12:42.826
Kylie Jenner wanted a hotel employee to stay with her 24-7.
00:12:42.826 --> 00:12:49.024
Cardi B always asked for squid and Pepsi Future always requests a lavender candle.
00:12:49.024 --> 00:12:50.187
That's kind of cute.
00:12:50.187 --> 00:12:54.541
Drake asked for four dozen naturally scented incense sticks.
00:12:54.541 --> 00:13:00.355
Christina Aguilera asked for the driver to never get stuck in traffic Don't you dare.
00:13:00.355 --> 00:13:11.913
Rihanna asked for a big fur rug for her to walk on barefoot I mean, that sounds nice and blue or black chiffon curtains she just wants the aesthetics, right.
00:13:11.913 --> 00:13:12.998
Is she a Taurus?
00:13:12.998 --> 00:13:13.860
I don't know.
00:13:13.860 --> 00:13:15.816
Appreciates the finer things.
00:13:16.350 --> 00:13:21.982
Justin Timberlake requires the doorknobs of wherever he's going to be disinfected every two hours.
00:13:21.982 --> 00:13:30.114
Eminem used to ask for six Lunchables three turkey and three ham with 24 cans and 24 plastic bottles of Diet Coke.
00:13:30.114 --> 00:13:52.062
Also, to add, one time Justin Timberlake asked to only ride the employee elevator at a hotel, but he didn't want the employees to walk down the hallway at the same time, so instead his team followed behind him to make sure that the employees basically waited where they could not be seen or heard from, until he got on the elevator.
00:13:52.062 --> 00:13:56.179
All that for a tiny, ding-donged man.
00:13:56.179 --> 00:14:16.864
I say that because the photos, if you have not seen these, they took photos of Justin Timberlake on tour in one of those hydraulic suits so that he can be lifted into the air Basically one of those crotch security belts that connect you to something.
00:14:16.864 --> 00:14:32.500
And it was not looking good for Justin Timberlake and people were making fun of him all over the internet and then he started wearing long t-shirts so that people couldn't take photos of his crotch and make fun of him.
00:14:32.500 --> 00:14:33.904
That's actually really sad.
00:14:33.904 --> 00:14:43.124
The more I talked about it, madonna, she always had to have a new toilet seat because she could not use one that somebody else had used.
00:14:43.124 --> 00:14:47.397
That is a pre-Madonna thing to do.
00:14:48.177 --> 00:14:53.932
Samuel L Jackson said you can call him Mr Jackson, sam or Samuel.
00:14:53.932 --> 00:14:59.519
Do not call him Sammy, which is a really normal thing.
00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:06.836
To just request people call you or not call you a name, I guess, but in this context is pretty hilarious.
00:15:06.836 --> 00:15:12.533
So they also wrote the temptation to call him Sammy was real, for real.
00:15:12.533 --> 00:15:17.451
Tell someone not to do something that's the quickest way to get someone to do that thing.
00:15:17.451 --> 00:15:32.860
Usually or maybe I just surround myself with people like me, and here's a creepier one Now, knowing, uh, the very, very dark history behind Mr Marilyn Manson, uh, that can bea whole other episode where I can give you the full story of that.
00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:35.230
But Marilyn Manson a musician.
00:15:35.230 --> 00:15:41.056
He wanted black fabric hung over the windows and walls of his dressing room and AC, as cold as it would go.
00:15:41.056 --> 00:15:43.658
We were instructed not to look him in the eyes.
00:15:43.658 --> 00:15:46.410
I was in high school at the time, working at a catering company.
00:15:46.410 --> 00:15:52.758
The music venue was on the bank of a river and there was a secluded fire pit area behind the venue for the artist to enjoy.
00:15:52.758 --> 00:15:57.412
Manson came backstage where we prepared food and asked for a bag of apples.
00:15:57.412 --> 00:16:00.796
He wanted to throw them at passing boats from that fire pit area.
00:16:00.796 --> 00:16:02.457
Of apples, he wanted to throw them at passing boats from that fire pit area.
00:16:02.457 --> 00:16:08.424
Interesting, really indicative of the kind of person he is, just enjoys cruelty and intimidation of all kinds.
00:16:08.424 --> 00:16:16.350
Yeah, my good.
00:16:16.370 --> 00:16:19.765
Stuart Lee, a UK comedian, has a funny bit about Dave Chappelle's writer requests, which he found out after performing on the same bill as him one night.
00:16:19.765 --> 00:16:30.982
Their requests were for all the normal light bulbs around the mirror to be replaced with red bulbs, lots of bottles of champagne and two rotisserie chickens rotating on individual rotisserie skewers.
00:16:30.982 --> 00:16:36.658
What made these diva-like demands even funnier was that apparently this wasn't some massive venue.
00:16:36.658 --> 00:16:45.538
It was a small UK theater holding about 300 capacity max To be able to request these kinds of things.
00:16:45.538 --> 00:16:53.206
I suppose it's like once you make it and you're there, maybe everybody's tempted to make some crazy wild request.
00:16:57.830 --> 00:17:01.240
People talking about what celebrities have requested on these writers is not a new topic of conversation.
00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:04.192
In fact, people find it obviously very interesting.
00:17:04.192 --> 00:17:05.875
But this all came about.
00:17:05.875 --> 00:17:08.780
It started really back with Van Halen.
00:17:08.780 --> 00:17:13.798
They would request a bowl of M&Ms and that all of the brown.
00:17:13.798 --> 00:17:17.674
Some say brown, some say green, I'm going to guess it's brown because that's like the most boring color.
00:17:17.674 --> 00:17:20.806
But they would request that they remove all of the brown ones and people thought this was crazy because obviously, like that's like the most boring color.
00:17:20.806 --> 00:17:29.880
But they would request that they remove all of the brown ones and people thought this was crazy because obviously like that's such a mean, almost just monotonous, boring task to give to somebody.
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:40.557
But then, allegedly, years down the road, they said that this was all part of a strategy really to make sure that the teams are reading the writer and their paperwork super carefully.
00:17:40.557 --> 00:17:48.260
They can look at the bowl of M&Ms, if it's there, and see if they read all the details and paid attention.
00:17:48.260 --> 00:17:55.554
If they messed that up, then they could probably mess something up important having to do with the production of their live show at the venue.
00:17:55.554 --> 00:17:58.240
So that was allegedly their strategy.
00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:02.980
Whether or not that's true or just to make sure we don't think that they're that much of divas.
00:18:05.111 --> 00:18:10.942
It is time for Pop Culture News Nuggets, where I tell you what everyone's talking about.
00:18:10.942 --> 00:18:23.365
And what we're going to talk about first is our girl, chapel Roan, who, by the way, in preparing for this podcast I was making sure I was pronouncing her name right.
00:18:23.365 --> 00:18:33.402
I ended up having to Google it and have some robot speak it for me, because you know, when you say a word so many times or pronounce it, that it just starts feeling all wrong.
00:18:33.402 --> 00:18:38.137
You know, gives you the feelings like no, wait, no, no, and you gaslight yourself into oblivion.
00:18:38.137 --> 00:18:40.181
Wait, no, no, and you gaslight yourself into oblivion.
00:18:40.181 --> 00:18:42.545
That's what I just did with Chapel Roan.
00:18:46.029 --> 00:18:54.654
Chapel Roan, the 27-year-old pop star who was catapulted into fame and stardom kind of really over the last year or so, but she's been around.
00:18:54.654 --> 00:19:02.318
She's released several albums before the rise and fall of a Midwest princess, but that's really when her career took off.
00:19:02.318 --> 00:19:16.309
She's been the center of lots of internet conversations and criticism quite a few times in the recent past after she gained popularity or really like this crazy skyrocketed popularity.
00:19:16.309 --> 00:19:17.211
Let's be honest.
00:19:17.211 --> 00:19:45.294
He will question if she's ever truly been media trained based on her responses she gives, both in interviews and just out in public while, you know, speaking with paparazzi or interviewers or media on the red carpet, she's kind of has a flippant attitude and I think it's part of what people love about her is she's very quote real People love her for her kind of bold, flippant, kind of playful attitude.
00:19:45.294 --> 00:19:54.285
That can at times come off the wrong way, which I think is the case in the latest interview she just did with Alex Cooper on Call Her Daddy.
00:19:54.586 --> 00:20:02.641
Chapel has moms across the internet up in arms and divided with a semi-controversial statement, I suppose.
00:20:02.641 --> 00:20:23.592
So Alex Cooper and Chapel Rohn were having a conversation about how Chapel's career skyrocketed so quickly and kind of well, seemingly out of the blue, when you've been working on something for years and years, as she has, and how that's changed her lifestyle in both obvious and not so obvious ways.
00:20:23.592 --> 00:20:41.238
And Chapel mentions that, coming from the Midwest, many of her friends who are also assuming around the same age of 27, that they'll have kids now and bought houses, and how her life is so much different than her friends who are all young mothers.
00:20:41.238 --> 00:20:43.863
And then Alex asked her you know, do you want to have kids?
00:20:43.863 --> 00:20:45.877
Like, do you seriously love having kids?
00:20:45.877 --> 00:20:50.161
Chapel responded saying all of my friends who have kids are in hell.
00:20:50.161 --> 00:20:53.500
I actually don't know anyone who's happy and has children at this age.
00:20:53.500 --> 00:21:04.154
I've literally not met anyone who's happy, anyone who is light in their eyes, who has slept, and obviously that is literally just a single quote pulled from an entire podcast interview.
00:21:04.154 --> 00:21:05.618
So keep that in mind.
00:21:05.740 --> 00:21:37.311
So that clip started making its way across TikTok and, right or wrong, pissed off a bunch of moms and obviously broad stroke comment from Chapel and she's probably exaggerating to be entertaining, but I don't think that she's all that wrong and where she's coming from as a woman without kids and now kind of thinking about facing that question more seriously than ever, I suppose just because that's what happens naturally as you get older that I'm not so sure.
00:21:37.311 --> 00:21:49.423
If I personally want to have kids and I've grown up always wanting to it's just a scary thought being completely responsible for another human's life, but we're not talking about me.
00:21:49.423 --> 00:22:19.625
I think that what Chapel's getting at is that young women who are unmarried or don't have kids we are hit with, I mean horror story after horror story after horror story from our women peers around us telling us about their experiences and how much of a nightmare it is, and mostly the ones that I can remember, yes, are filled with nightmare examples of just crazy kids, no sleep, losing their minds, no time for themselves and sexless marriages and all of that.
00:22:19.625 --> 00:22:21.393
That's just what we hear.
00:22:21.393 --> 00:22:29.953
I think that those stories change at least from my perspective of being around pregnant women, I think it becomes.
00:22:29.953 --> 00:22:37.063
They still get those, but I think that there are a lot more positive stories shared to them, which is probably good.
00:22:37.789 --> 00:22:45.594
All to say, that comment shouldn't have been as controversial as it was is really my biggest opinion in all of this.
00:22:45.594 --> 00:22:58.398
So if you go on any social media platform or just look up her name, you'll find articles from all media sites and publications talking about this uproar that she's caused and it's not the first time she's caused an uproar.
00:22:58.398 --> 00:23:22.653
She tends to take up that whole kind of tired used bit that celebrities and influencers will use where they complain about being famous and you know, try being an influencer for a day kind of vibes and um, and I can think of very few scenarios where that argument or that stance has worked in that person's favor, truthfully.
00:23:22.653 --> 00:23:26.056
So I do think we need to drop that, and people don't want to hear that.
00:23:26.056 --> 00:23:47.567
Especially, she's not just an influencer or content creator, she is a musician are countless artists and musicians out there that would do anything to swap places with her and blow up overnight as she did, even though that whole phrase like something like an overnight success.
00:23:47.567 --> 00:23:51.013
Rarely, if ever, are they actually overnight successes.
00:23:51.013 --> 00:23:54.811
That's just the part that we see, so keep that in mind whenever venture you're doing.
00:23:54.811 --> 00:23:57.381
Nothing is truly an overnight success.
00:23:57.441 --> 00:24:05.788
Chapel Roan had been working in the industry for 10 years, busking in the streets like you know all those musicians on the streets.
00:24:05.788 --> 00:24:06.732
That's asking for change.
00:24:06.732 --> 00:24:08.381
Yeah, that's where she started.
00:24:08.381 --> 00:24:09.626
Everybody starts somewhere.
00:24:09.626 --> 00:24:13.522
So that's what I had to tell myself when I was starting this whole shebang.
00:24:13.522 --> 00:24:32.616
Sometimes it takes just completely putting your ego and your self-conscious thoughts and shoving them in a closet and then you can unlock that closet later once you do it and you know, organize through it and then shut it again, because if you spend too much time in that closet you won't ever come out.
00:24:32.616 --> 00:24:39.645
And I'm not talking sexually, no, I mean we're going to just really gracefully move on from that and get right back to Chapel.
00:24:39.926 --> 00:25:03.111
I feel a little bit badly for Chapel in the sense that she's been extremely scrutinized and largely because she is so publicly identifies as queer that people assume she then needs to speak for them at all times and she's kind of been bombarded to take up a political stance and opinions and all of that.
00:25:03.111 --> 00:25:05.786
So she's expressed frustrations with that part.
00:00:11.051 --> 00:00:17.856
00:00:17.856 --> 00:00:35.383
00:00:35.383 --> 00:00:38.048
00:00:38.048 --> 00:00:46.192
00:00:46.192 --> 00:00:52.151
00:00:52.151 --> 00:00:56.466
00:00:56.466 --> 00:00:59.232
00:00:59.232 --> 00:01:02.124
00:01:02.124 --> 00:01:10.085
00:01:10.085 --> 00:01:13.600
00:01:13.600 --> 00:01:19.843
00:01:19.843 --> 00:01:21.265
00:01:21.265 --> 00:01:31.573
00:01:31.573 --> 00:01:35.884
00:01:35.884 --> 00:01:41.834
00:01:41.834 --> 00:01:45.876
00:01:45.876 --> 00:01:48.102
00:01:48.102 --> 00:01:53.013
00:01:53.013 --> 00:01:56.268
00:01:56.268 --> 00:01:58.293
00:01:58.293 --> 00:02:06.332
00:02:06.332 --> 00:02:10.867
00:02:10.867 --> 00:02:17.168
00:02:17.168 --> 00:02:24.271
00:02:24.271 --> 00:02:26.763
00:02:26.763 --> 00:02:29.907
00:02:30.828 --> 00:02:36.795
00:02:36.795 --> 00:02:39.201
00:02:39.201 --> 00:02:47.705
00:02:47.705 --> 00:02:56.760
00:02:56.760 --> 00:03:05.293
00:03:05.293 --> 00:03:27.735
00:03:27.735 --> 00:03:31.425
00:03:31.425 --> 00:03:35.734
00:03:35.734 --> 00:03:49.126
00:03:49.246 --> 00:03:53.334
00:03:53.334 --> 00:03:58.831
00:03:58.831 --> 00:04:03.560
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:08.616
00:04:08.616 --> 00:04:13.204
00:04:13.224 --> 00:04:15.332
00:04:15.332 --> 00:04:20.468
00:04:20.468 --> 00:04:24.185
00:04:24.185 --> 00:04:25.971
00:04:25.971 --> 00:04:30.375
00:04:30.375 --> 00:04:40.572
00:04:40.572 --> 00:04:42.661
00:04:42.661 --> 00:04:44.947
00:04:44.947 --> 00:04:47.213
00:04:47.213 --> 00:04:49.245
00:04:49.245 --> 00:04:50.447
00:04:50.809 --> 00:04:53.521
00:04:53.521 --> 00:04:54.704
00:04:54.704 --> 00:04:56.889
00:04:56.889 --> 00:05:02.086
00:05:02.086 --> 00:05:11.567
00:05:11.567 --> 00:05:14.588
00:05:14.588 --> 00:05:17.709
00:05:17.709 --> 00:05:29.209
00:05:29.711 --> 00:05:35.031
00:05:35.031 --> 00:05:38.494
00:05:38.494 --> 00:05:39.779
00:05:39.779 --> 00:05:41.904
00:05:41.904 --> 00:05:45.333
00:05:45.333 --> 00:05:50.086
00:05:50.086 --> 00:05:52.125
00:05:52.125 --> 00:05:53.370
00:05:53.370 --> 00:05:56.685
00:05:56.685 --> 00:05:57.668
00:05:57.668 --> 00:05:58.802
00:05:58.802 --> 00:05:59.807
00:05:59.807 --> 00:06:01.547
00:06:01.547 --> 00:06:06.343
00:06:06.343 --> 00:06:07.387
00:06:07.387 --> 00:06:08.632
00:06:08.632 --> 00:06:13.367
00:06:13.367 --> 00:06:15.411
00:06:15.411 --> 00:06:20.668
00:06:20.988 --> 00:06:29.791
00:06:29.791 --> 00:06:35.533
00:06:35.533 --> 00:06:38.964
00:06:38.964 --> 00:06:46.932
00:06:46.932 --> 00:06:55.394
00:06:55.394 --> 00:07:03.213
00:07:03.213 --> 00:07:11.052
00:07:11.052 --> 00:07:15.307
00:07:15.307 --> 00:07:17.961
00:07:18.543 --> 00:07:28.466
00:07:28.466 --> 00:07:33.447
00:07:33.447 --> 00:07:44.565
00:07:44.565 --> 00:07:50.742
00:07:50.742 --> 00:07:52.528
00:07:52.528 --> 00:07:54.192
00:07:54.192 --> 00:07:59.189
00:07:59.649 --> 00:08:04.846
00:08:04.846 --> 00:08:12.009
00:08:12.009 --> 00:08:17.586
00:08:17.586 --> 00:08:21.841
00:08:21.841 --> 00:08:24.466
00:08:24.466 --> 00:08:28.372
00:08:28.372 --> 00:08:34.301
00:08:34.301 --> 00:08:38.990
00:08:38.990 --> 00:08:40.214
00:08:41.841 --> 00:08:42.543
00:08:42.543 --> 00:08:44.229
00:08:44.229 --> 00:08:45.933
00:08:45.933 --> 00:08:54.472
00:08:54.472 --> 00:09:06.385
00:09:06.385 --> 00:09:08.369
00:09:08.389 --> 00:09:17.187
00:09:17.187 --> 00:09:21.124
00:09:21.124 --> 00:09:29.386
