I am producer Chris, and coming up tonight, the debate over dressing for the weather or dressing for the season. We want to know which you do and whether you like it or not. Then later, we're talking about why women want an offline man. Eating food found on Facebook Marketplace and looking at a stranger's phone on a flight. Do you do it? Are you guilty of it?

I'm doing well. I'm happy to have you back. Congratulations. We were just talking before you came on. You are one of the finalists so far in the top post competition. I'm still in it.

He's there and you are hilarious. I will be honest with you. I love. The way you give it back to Marina. Because that's all attention needs. She picks on me. She does. But you give as good as you get. Thank you very much. You ready to dive right in? I'm ready. All right. We're going to start off talking a little fashion this evening. Because the official 2027 Met Gala theme has been revealed. Again, Vogue and the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute announced that this year's motif will be extraordinary. Fashion and the poetics of the everyday. That means the theme will essentially focus on everyday normal clothing, talking T-shirts, jeans, puffer jackets, and how these articles of clothing can inspire creativity. Now, we should note, this was not the first choice, all right? This was not the first choice. The original plan was an exhibit inspired by controversial designer John Galliano. That event was canceled earlier this year. If you're wondering why, Google his name. It will come up right away. Ronald, the fashion event of the year. I mean, we're talking about the Super Bowl. of fashion. It is never ordinary. Let's just say that. It is always as over the top as you can imagine. So the idea that the theme is extra, or not extraordinary, extraordinary. Do you like this or not? I love it. It's ridiculous. They've gone too far. They've flown too close to the sun. They've gone so far that they've looped back around to normal. That's exactly what's happening And I can't wait to see what their take on extra ordinary is. I just want one person to be in a hoodie and sweats. I want people to look like they're getting off the couch. I want them to look in khakis and one of those puffer vests or whatever that the finance bros wear. I want to be super normal, man. You know, I mean, if anybody would show up in like a hoodie and call it fashion, it would be Mr. Kanye West himself. I don't know that his invitation still stands. Same reason as John Galliano. There you go. But I like to see See how people can take basics and elevate them, you know what I mean? Look, sometimes it's just an excuse to charge more for the everyday items that I'm wearing anyway, but if anyone can do it, it's probably going to be Colman Domingo because he is always on theme. It is interesting to see the people who just show up wearing the tuxedos and they never even try to get creative with it. I don't know. I have very mixed feelings about it. Allison is in the Zoom room on this Thursday evening. Allison, a fashionista herself. Allison, the Met Gala going with a theme of extraordinary and trying to elevate these ordinary items. Do you like this or not? I just think with fashion, you cannot go wrong, no matter what it is. The crazier, the more unique, the better. So I'm looking forward to seeing it. I heard there was going to be like some plastic and paper and all this weird stuff. I'm here for it, Chris. I can't wait to see it. I won't be shocked. And look, like you said, I mean, people have been thinking about this probably before they even announced the theme. So designers are going to be working on this now for the next, it's May. It's always the first Monday in May. So they've got some time. Yeah, I think people will come up with ways to make it interesting. But Billy, Billy, the idea of taking what is supposed to be the highest fashion event of the year and then saying, all right, we're going to make it about the basics. Do you like this or not? I don't like it. I like, you know, we always want to see what this person had on and everybody talks about this dress or this Armani suit or this Versace list or this, but just to go with t-shirts and sweatpants, that's kind of a little boring to me. Yeah. Look, another like red carpet, you know, icon when it comes to this event is always like Rihanna. Yeah. Rihanna has shown up wearing like that huge, you know. Yeah. So like. I'll be fascinated to see how she takes this theme and runs with it. If they can. If they can, yeah. I mean, some people may choose to just sit it out because they think it's boring. All right, so that was fashion story number one. Fashion story number two. Fall can be a tricky time of year to decide what to wear. We have chilly mornings, warm afternoons, cool evenings. It can make layering crucial, as anyone out there knows. Cities like D.C. and New York, though, you may see some people dressing for the weather. But you may also see people dressing for the season. If you're wondering what the difference is, people who dress for the weather may wear shorts or short sleeves when the temperatures are in the 70s, maybe even pushing 80, even if it's November. People who dress for the season, on the other hand, may still reach for the cardigan, the corduroys, the fall boots, the hats, the scarves, the whole night. Think Lenny Kravitz walking down the street in basically an entire afghan thrown around his neck. Now, fashion experts actually have an opinion. They say regardless of temperature, unless you are down in the south, it's time to pack up the summer attire and make the switch to the darker hues, the heavier fabrics associated with fall. So, Ronald, I'll ask you, are you team dressing for the weather or team dressing for the season? Oh, man, this is tough. I think it's after September, I want to dress for the season. I feel like it's just so important. I want to wear my browns. I want to wear my knitted shirts, my cardigans, all of that. It just feels important to me, even though it's warming up. But in the spring, as soon as we get out of winter, like January, February, into March, I'm dressing for the temperature. So it feels like it just depends on when the year is, because I don't care about dressing for the spring or dressing for the summer. I just want to know if I'm hot or cold, and I go based on that. I have said before, I run hot. I'm a sweaty person. Yeah, so like summer I can't Wait for fall. So, like, I'm itching to break out the Henleys. I'm itching to break out the sweaters. I'm always going to throw a sport coat on if I can, the denim jacket, all of those sorts of things. So I am insanely, insanely guilty of dressing for the season. The second it feels even remotely socially acceptable to bust it out, I'm absolutely going to do it. But I was laughing earlier because my wife and I were at a brewery in our neighborhood recently. And, you know, it's tons of kids and tons of families and things like that. And to a T, every adult was there wearing their, like, fall favorites, you know what I mean? But every kid there was wearing, like, shorts, cut-off shirts and stuff. Of course. The kids were just running around wearing whatever, and the adults were like, oh, we're going to go fashion on this one. We take a picture. It was so arbitrary of, like, not being able to tell what season it was depending on who you were looking at. Allison, fashionista, like I said, do you dress for the weather or the season? I live in the DMV because we don't know what season it is, Chris. It'll be summer for five minutes. It'll be spring at the end of the day. We don't know. So it's very difficult. I don't know. I say regardless, dress in layers because you also get sick when you keep, you know, switching up, wearing shorts in the winter. But it's 80 degrees. You don't know what to do. Mm-hmm. Do what you feel. You are so, so, so right, though, about the DMV, where it's still 80 degrees into, like, late November. I mean, we've had 70-degree Thanksgiving days type of a thing. We've had 60-degree Christmas days out there, which can make it very difficult to throw on that ugly sweater or whatever when you need, like, a T-shirt instead. So you are one. Plus, we've got fall, spring, you know, all of a sudden it's February and you're putting hoochie daddy shorts out because everyone's just anxious to get out of their winter clothes and try to get a tan. Billy, do you like the idea of dressing for the season or dressing for the weather? We dress for the weather in the DMV. We dress for the weather because, you know, there's such a thing called pneumonia weather. So you come outside with them shorts on and it's hot and like around 12 o'clock noon. Then when you get like five, six o'clock in the evening, it's cold. So you dress for the weather, not the season. Yeah. Freddie, Freddie's in the Zoom room on this Thursday night as well. Freddie, do you like the idea of dressing for the weather, what it's like outside, or do you like the idea of dressing for the season? It's fall. I'm going to wear the sweater no matter what. Well, let me tell you, how's it going? Big Ron, nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Happy Thursday. Happy Thursday. Also, I do have a sweater and a jacket right there. So whenever it's raining outside, I just use my raincoat. Yeah. But then, like, when it comes to, like, warm weather or something like that, when it's raining, I just use the rain jacket. But when it comes to, like, heavy cold or some kind of big snowstorm, I use a regular jacket. I have to cover some layers and all that to protect it. All of our regular viewers know this, but I own a motorcycle, and I used to say that this time of year was impossible, especially when I was working the morning show, because I would be coming in the work at like 3 in the morning. It would be like barely above freezing, so I'd have a leather coat on. I would have gloves for my hands. I'd have a neck gaiter and everything like that, and then by the time I left, it would be 70 degrees. And I would have to cram all of that stuff into my bag and be going home in, like, you know, basically a T-shirt at that point because I was ludicrously dressed for the conditions. But that's just me. Well, at least you have a motorcycle. What's going on? Facebook Marketplace is becoming a go-to spot for more than just used furniture. If you have been on there, you know exactly what we are talking about. People are actually using it to buy homemade meals, seafood boils, and baked goods. One South Carolina seller got more than 300 orders after a food reviewer featured her seafood pans online. Here in D.C., there are some rules, though. The city's cottage food law allows people to sell certain non-perishable foods, like baked goods, from their home kitchens. But perishable items, like meat, cut fruit, not allowed under that law. Selling those foods requires other permits, which can cost thousands of dollars a year. And Facebook Marketplace does not verify whether food sellers have the proper licenses. So you're kind of. You're rolling the dice, let's just put it that way. But Ronald, the idea of buying food from someone on Facebook Marketplace, do you like this or not? Nope, not doing it. Hard pass, nope. And the thing is, I barely would have eaten some people's houses that I know and love. You know what I mean? As opposed to going to a stranger's house and saying, hey, you want to eat some of this food that I'm selling on Facebook Marketplace? I'm like, I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. It feels like, and all the things you said about permits and health safety, all of that is in my head. Do you have cats? Are your cats allowed in the kitchen? All of that matters to me. And I respect it, and I understand it. And poor peppers basically get a paw in most things I eat. But I don't serve it to other people. Just for me. Allison, are you eating food that you find on Facebook Marketplace? Um, it personally sounds very uncomfortable and unsanitary, but there are some things that are actually good that you can get online. Like I have a neighbor, she was actually selling baked goods on Etsy, which I didn't even understand how she was doing it, but she had like macaroons and so forth and she would ship them off. And she had it done very professionally. And I'm actually proud of her. Let me give my neighbor Minnie a shout out because she got it to the point where she opened up her own bakery in Manassas called Lorena's Bakery. And I'm very proud of her. That's amazing. Yeah. And listen, I do love that it allows people to kind of get their name out there, get their product out there. There is, you know, a huge building that sort of ground support. It is a great thing. On the other hand, I understand why some of these laws and permits are in place. Correct. Billy, the idea of ordering food on Facebook Marketplace, do you like this or not? I have to agree with the big guy, no, no, no, no, unsanitary people digging in their nose, wiping their butt, no, nah. Yeah, I mean, hairnets exist for a reason as well. Gloves. I told the story earlier, my wife and I are in a Facebook buy nothing group in our neighborhood, which is awesome. But the other night someone posted, they were like, hey, time sensitive, I have three slices of pizza left if anybody wants them. And I was like, Put that in the refrigerator and save it for tomorrow. I'm not going to lie. I'd probably go get that pizza. You would go get that? Did y'all make this? Y'all bought this? Yeah, I'll come get some of that pizza. I don't know, man. I don't know. I just can't. That's just me. You know them, though. They're in your mind. I don't actually, though. That's the thing. If it was like my immediate next door neighbor, they could just text me. Hey, you want some pizza? Yeah. Putting it on Facebook. That's fair. I'm with you. Okay, okay. Apparently, sometimes the best part of a night out is actually the next morning. Not like that. Yeah. A new survey shows 55% of Gen Z and millennials say the morning after debrief is even more exciting than the night itself. 64% say recaps are a must. After a big event, whether it's a party, vacation, or night out, respondents say the recap helps them relive their favorite moments, feel more connected to friends, and piece together what actually happened. That last part I may be guilty of. A psychotherapist says sharing different perspectives and laughing about the same moments can strengthen friendship. So, Ronald, the morning after debrief. Do you do it? Do you like this or not? I mean, in other news, water is wet. Yes, of course. I like the morning after debrief. This is what we've always done. We've done it for many years. It feels like it's something you did in college. In college, you go to a party, you all separate at the party, and next day you meet up in your boy's room to be like, yes. Yeah, not even brunch, over like more beer if they're drinking. You know what I mean? This is the best part, and I love that they're discovering that this is the best part of going out afterwards. I also love that there was a study to... Yeah, a study? This as well. Wow. Allison, the morning after recap, do you have a group chat where you go back and you relive your favorite moments from the night before? I'm not in a group chat. But again, my people are the Zoom room people. And we actually do go out and we do discuss, you know, what happens afterward. And it's always very positive. Like Billy is one of my go to people. And it's usually about, you know, pop quiz, hot shot. And we talk about their music and what song we liked and evaluated. And it actually goes and leads up to what the next event is going to be. So I think this is great. And it helps you connect. Yeah, you're looking back and planning for the future at the same time. I do love that. Billy. Billy, are you a big fan of the next day debrief? Absolutely. Absolutely. It's fun to talk about how much fun you had the night before, like Allison said. We talk about, uh, Chad Lord. Oh my goodness. They have us laughing so hard and we just have a big conversation about it. Sometimes me and Allison be talking for so long. We have to like shut each other up and be like, you know what? Let's end this call. Cause we could talk about this all night long. I love that. That's the beauty of the zoom room, but you guys are all such nice people. My wife and I, we love the next day debrief or even that night debrief after an event, but it's mainly because we just want to be like, did you see that? Yes. That's what I That's what I assumed this was. It's talking some... And you know what I mean. Yes, yes, yes. Come on, we all do it. Don't judge us. Imagine you're on a plane. There's someone sitting next to you. They paid for the Wi-Fi. They're maybe scrolling through some text messages, scrolling through social media. Maybe they're watching a movie. Maybe they're watching a TV show. Do you sneak a peek? Yeah, always. Always. Yeah, if they're watching a movie or television, yes. If I see they're on their phone, like, tapping a text or something, if I see that's happening, I look away, because I don't really want to know what's on their phone. You don't want to know what's going on. No, I really don't. I feel like I don't need that information. One flight attendant says she takes it even a step further. Check out this post on Threads. You see it right there. Quote, as a flight attendant, I love minding my passenger's business. This girl was watching something with a 600-pound woman and a guy who looked like Eminem sitting on a stage, and I said, girl, what is that? She closed her laptop and looked at me like this. The comment section had this flight attendant's back, with some people admitting they love when the person has the text on their phone enlarged so they can read along. Others admitted watching whole movies through the cracks in the seat with no audio. So, Ronald, you already admitted you sneak a peek at a passenger's phone. Yes. Has it ever happened to you back? Well, see, I'm very careful about what I download because I have a big iPad that I take with me on planes I'm very careful what I download. I mean like there's been times I've been watching stuff and a scene comes up and I'm like, oh, fast forward, fast forward, fast forward. I don't need to see this So, yeah, but I mean, people's personal texts and stuff. Like, if you're watching a video, I've got to see what you're watching But, like, if you're talking, I don't really want to do that But now I'm thinking I should Well on, like, the walk back from the bathroom and everyone's got their laptops out, I'm just, like, standing. I'm trying to get, like, suggestions to see if there's something I should be watching I have also shared this story before, so indulge me if you will, Zoom Room and Fox Local people I was on a flight one time and I was watching that Adam Sandler movie where he was, like, the executive for the Sixers. And the guy sitting next to me was watching over my shoulder as I was just on my phone And he had seen it before, and he's like, this part He's just letting me know That movie ended He wanted to have a whole conversation about how I felt about it Then I queued up the The Harder They Fall. Yes And he was like, this one's going to get a little violent I was like, thanks for the heads up. And I stopped watching it because I knew he was going to do the exact same thing. It was I mean, I had to give a little bit of credit at a certain point that he had no shame about it whatsoever. Allison, do you sneak a peek at what people are doing on their phone or tablet next to you? Absolutely, Chris. And the word is sneak. Now, you don't need to let the people know that you're looking. And let me tell you a skill. I'm one of the nosiest people that I know. Being nosy can save your life. And you have to do it with skill. Like, I could be sitting here looking at you like, okay, Chris, yeah, and I'll be looking over here, but talking to you so I can find out what's going on next to me. And I will say on a plane, I was sitting next to the scammer. So I saw the street that Terrence from Atlanta lives on just in case I need to, you know, talk to the police or something later on. So you just never know. Like, I'm not just going to look and be like, let me find out what movie you're watching. But if you're doing some type of peculiar activity, best believe I'm listening and I'm watching. Neighborhood Watch, Allison, member, proud member right there. Billy, how about you? Are you guilty of sneaking a peek or has it ever happened to you? I'm guilty of sneaking a peek because I had a guy watching all the football games while we were on the flight and I was just like into the game. But it's never happened to me because I've never had Wi-Fi and I don't like look at my phone. I'm too busy in everybody else's business. You know, I got to laugh, though, because Allison was saying how she can like keep one eye and one ear on what's happening next to her while engaging in that conversation. I'm going to call out my wife, because she is the exact opposite. Really? I will be having a full-fledged conversation with her. And then she'll turn to me and go, I didn't listen to a word you said. I was too distracted by what's happening over here. She can't hide it whatsoever. Yes. She's so, so bad at it. Freddie, Freddie, have you ever been guilty of sneaking a peek at your neighbor's phone, tablet, laptop, or has it ever happened to you? Yeah, I feel guilty of doing that. Whenever I look at some person's phone about a game, I was like, oh, my God, who's winning? And if I was out with Billy or Allison, looking at their phone, I was like, oh, my God, what am I doing? No, no, no, no, no, no. Allison probably had already clocked that it was happening. Keep the comments coming on all the stories we've talked about so far. Coming up next, what women want. And apparently it's an offline man. We'll be right back. Super funny. Welcome back to Do You Like It or not on this Thursday night alongside the Ronald Young joining us. The Ronald Young Jr. Yeah, that's me. Sorry. No, no, that's fine. The Ronald Young Jr. I love that, by the way. Earlier, actually, this has nothing to do with anything, but Jack was telling a story, and we're going to get into it. It's about nicknames, and he shared his full name, and he was Jack, well, he was John something Norcross II. Sure. Is Junior and the second the same thing, or are they two separate things? Okay, so yes, but it's not interchangeable. Okay. So you're either the second or you're Junior. But you're not, you're not both. Got it. You can't just decide one day, a second, and the next. Yeah, it's either there or it's not. Okay, interesting. All right, well, bad news for dudes on TikTok. Let's dive right back in now, because a new survey says women prefer guys who barely use social media over those who document every meal, every workout, and every minor inconvenience. 67%, so that's two-thirds for the math inclined out there, of women agree. But there's a difference between a man who posts sometimes and one who has absolutely zero online presence. That's apparently a red flag. 72% of women felt comfortable meeting a guy with an old or mostly private account. That fell to just under 50% for men with highly active public profiles and then fell again to 38% for those with no online presence at all. So Ronald, the idea of an offline partner Being more attractive, do you understand this? Do you like this or not? I understand it. I understand where people are coming from. But I will say, because most of our information is coming from social media and stuff these days, it makes it very difficult. When you're engaging with the news in that way, or your own personal news, and you have to update someone who's not on socials about what's going on. And first, I have to explain three things to you before I tell you what this little meme means. You know what I mean? Exactly. So that's frustrating. Yes, it's so frustrating. Also, neither of my brothers have like Instagram or Facebook or anything. So like, even if there is something that I think they think is funny, and I try to send it to them, they're like, the link doesn't work. So then I literally have to screen record it. Just send it to them, and that's just a lot of work. Who wants to do all that? Those are too many extra steps. Also, I will just say, me personally, and I don't know whether they accounted for this, but if you have a social media account, and then you follow a bunch of people, and you have zero followers, you're just a lurker. Yes, correct. You know what I mean? That would set off more red flags for me, necessarily, than just occasionally just posting something. Random, I don't know. It's social. It's social. Allison, the offline man being more attractive. Do you like this or not? Do you understand this or not? I like it. And I understand it, Chris, because a lot of times men are looking on social media because they want to find something that's attractive. Like I've literally was with someone one time we weren't in a relationship. We were close friends, but we were more than friends. And he would be sitting next to me, like liking pictures and just talking to females. And I'm like, why did you invite me here? He was like, oh, this is what I do when I'm by myself. I'm like, but you're not by yourself. So this is the thing. If you're looking for something, if you're so intrigued, you know, then then stay there. Like, don't be like whatever bonding with the female if you care more about what's on social media. OK, that's definitely. And when I tease this story earlier with Marina, she went the exact same route. And it's about maybe the temptation. Yeah, that. Social media can lead to, and maybe that's part of the reason that they like an offline man. Billy, the idea of the offline man being more attractive, do you like this or not? I don't like it because what me posting or not posting has to do with my personality, what it has to do with my looks, what it has to do with my charming intellect. I mean, come on, like, it's got to be more than that. And, you know, some people, and the people that I don't like is the one who don't have no pictures, no posts, but they got like a million followers. Yeah. Those are the people you got to be scared of. I agree with that as well. And, you know, I get it from both sides at the same time. Just, you know. Be normal. That's what I... Also, like, it's my wife and I's love language to send memes to each other all day, every day. One of the best parts, yes. If I could not fulfill that for her, then I assume she's going to find someone who can. And I'll be damned. I'll be damned if that's going to happen on my watch. I got to be online just so I can get those memes from her. She's got to send them to somebody. I feel the same. Why not me? All right, I think I ran out of time for the story, but we're going to try to squeeze it in. Do you have a nickname? It's Ronald. Ronald. Oh, I'm sorry. Big Ron. Big Ron. Big Ron's his nickname. Some nicknames feel right, for example. Some feel forced. And some should just be illegal. Take a listen. I met a guy called Jonathan who goes by the name Nathan. I didn't know you could do that. Bro, I couldn't meet a brother called Nathan, and then him say, oh, my real name's Jonathan. What? Yeah, bro. I actually didn't know you could do that. Jonathan. Jonathan! I know a Christian that goes by Ian instead of Chris. Got a buddy from Chicago that goes by Lip, but his name is Philip. That was a character in a show called Shameless, as a matter of fact. Now, I would argue, you know, my full name is Christopher, and there is an actor named Topher Grace. His full name is Christopher as well. So shortening the back half of it feels illegal. Don't do it. Do you like the idea of the illegal nicknames should not be real? First of all, your new name is now Fur.
