So recently a video went pretty viral on the internet
and Candace, you actually tweeted about it.
Something about Shashuka?
I don't know if I'm saying that right.
So Nick, if you can pull up the video,
we're gonna 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, exed it?
Quote tweeted, I don't know anymore.
Okay, quote exed it.
This is what, this is what was future,
wait, this is what was, okay, yeah.
This is what a future, sorry.
Future Depression Xanax and Wine Combo Nights alone
looks like, but hey, the Shashuka.
That's gonna be amazing.
So let's play the video.
Nick, if you can go full screen on it,
and then we'll get the panel's reaction.
Xanax Wine Nights.
It's 10.45 a.m. on a 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 10.15.
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.
Then I woke up a tad hungover this morning,
which is probably why I was in bed for so long,
and I was just scrolling on my phone,
and I saw a picture of shakshuka,
and I thought, you know what 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.
Weirdly, 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 wanna 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 shakshuka I wanna make,
or the Beyonce concert I wanna 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 it was gonna be really her going,
shah, shah, shah.
Yeah.
So, why do you guys think that this video
went kind of crazy viral, and 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.
Well, I don't know if Matt Walsh was the first person.
He was.
Oh, was he, really?
Okay, I didn't know that.
But I guess what's interesting to me
is that this woman has actually even said
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 because she's 29,
you're saying that it's 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.
That's not what my tweet said.
You said the future.
Yeah, because she's obviously a narcissist, right?
So, the issue, first and foremost,
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 childless.
So, she has developed,
she's 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 until 11, 15, or 10, 15,
whatever she said, that you need to bring up children.
There's 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 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 first 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 should not marry her.
That's my personal opinion.
You wanted to come in really quick.
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, quote, unquote, 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 in, go ahead.
Fuck them kids.
No, I said, quote, unquote.
That's what they say.
Yeah, but you're admitting that,
so that she's starting the fight.
You're looking at people that are moms.
And it's a trend.
That are trending.
It's a trend.
When I'm with my kids, I don't post videos
and say, F them single chicks with no kids.
She did the baiting, okay?
And we responded.
That's it.
I don't know.
Like, it's a new trend.
The first thing I was gonna say.
Hold on, let's just let, Essie, go ahead, go ahead.
The first thing I noticed about the video
was that she was putting people with kids down.
It'd be fine if she was just talking about
how her day was and sporting 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 the part of the problem.
Pixie, go ahead.
Yeah, no, I think this is up to interpretation.
Because personally, when I saw that video,
my interpretation was like, oh,
she's putting herself down because she's saying,
oh, when I tell myself, why am I not further along in life?
It's okay, because at least I'm enjoying these things.
So I could definitely see,
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 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, did I say it right this time?
Yeah.
Okay, okay.
I mean, I don't know the background
of what other types of content and messaging she puts out,
but just from that video alone,
I don't think she ever,
to me, I never got the impression
she was shaming people that did,
that women that were married had 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 reproductive years
to look on the bright side,
but I really, and all my friends know,
I'm so eager and ready for marriage and kids,
but I really, honestly,
just didn't get that impression from that video alone,
that she was in any way shaming.
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 the little,
it's so, she was obviously,
Yeah, that was selfish of her to say that.
Yeah, she sounded 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,
why are you even mentioning single women?
Just say you had a good day with your kids.
That's fine.
And I feel like nowadays,
white kids did that.
Okay, chill.
Why are you correlating it to children?
It doesn't make any sense.
So, 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, then you're gonna 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,
it's me, me, me, me, narcissist, me.
Here's what I did for me.
It's just not a woman that you wanna marry full stop
for leaving apart,
leaving the kids totally separate from it.
I wouldn't marry a woman like that.
Go ahead, you wanted to comment.
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, 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 Candice, does anyone here have kids?
You got kids?
I have a son, he's 21.
Okay, gotcha.
He's perfect, and 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 kinds of trends are like,
it's a rebellious thing because sometimes it's expected
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 I don't recall if you had a response to Candice 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 wanna 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 honest
and admitted that it is becoming trendy
to put down women.
It's like, yeah.
Yeah, 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 and 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 gonna live forever.
What she's doing is something different.
And also, just recently today, actually,
Emma Roddick-Jakowski came out with a quote about,
I think getting divorced before you're 30 is chic.
That's something else.
And that a woman at 22, a woman 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 her 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.
