People get rewarded, right, Like there's influencers, and they get rewarded by
all their likes and the comments, Oh my god, you're so amazing.
And then they go through life thinking I'm entitled to do whatever I want,
whenever I want. And then what that creates is sort of this really reckless,
outrageously behaved populous. Welcome to another deep dive edition of The Chicks on
the Right podcast, and today we decided to talk about how much freaking attention
everybody needs' I can't dole it out. I can't give everybody all the attention.
It's like having all these kids that are just vying for your attention.
It's like, can you just entertain yourself? Mommy, watch this, watch
this, watch this, watch this, mom Mom, mommy, mom,
mama, mom shut up, my god. Only then imagine that instead of
like toddler's, you know, for your attention to watch them as they performed
their next swan dive or whatever it is that they're doing right now, we've
got grown ass adults who are acting a bread jillion times worse than the worst
tantrum throwing toddlers. Yeah, and in the case of like the the Pride
marches this past week, and it's like, look at my dick. I
don't want to look at it. I don't want to look at that.
It's nobody wants to see that, especially children. Nobody wants to see it.
Go away, put tuck it away someplace, put it in, like
put some pants on, like a normal human being, Like why can't you
just be normal? Why can't people just be normal and stop like just being
so desperate for attention. And it's and it's real, like there's a there's
a narcissism epidemic in this country. It's an epidemic. It's bad. I
wonder if there's going to be a vaccine for that. I wish, I
wish. There's never been a vaccine for trumped arrangement syndrome, so I highly
doubt that there's going to be a vaccine for TDS. I just think eventually
our world is just going to employe It's from all the people that are so
full of themselves that it's just going to be this this implosion of self absorption.
It's you know the worst part about all the pride stuff and all the
like fling flangin swinglings that we had to be subjected to and that kids were
subjected to. Is the lengths that the lefties right now are going to in
order to normalize all of that. Like they're saying, well, but what
about nude beaches. Sometimes you might be exposed to naked dinglings on nude beaches,
So how is that any different? Well, it's I mean, because
it's not in a freaking public street to which families are invited exactly. They
have to get from point A to point B. And then like, I
totally agree, I know, and like you're right, totally rationalizing. They're
absolutely rationalizing the crap of this. It's like, I don't see why you
see such a problem with kids. Their parents make it all the time,
they do. I don't know what your household is like, but mine is
not like that, I know, right, I know, it's like that.
It is crazy, the rationalization that we've seen with this. I'm just
like, stop it, just stop. Stop trying to make naked in front
of kids happen. Just stop it. Nobody nobody wants this, nobody normal
wants this, and then they just and I don't know why it's just become
such a I guess, I mean, I have hypotheses on why people are
so narcissistic now, and it is apropos that it's called pride, right,
But I mean, I don't know. I guess I have some hypotheses.
The biggest one the reason that I think that people are so full of themselves.
I always go back to blaming the Kardashians when they're When you need something
to blame, chances are it can be tied by blame to the Kardashians.
Yeah, I blame them, like because I haven't and I have a date.
Their show started October fourteenth, two thousand and seven. Oh god,
it's been that's one there that we've subjected to that family. Uh huh,
it's mean I think we should sue. I honestly think we should get a
class action lawsuit at this point and just sue them for some sort of emotional
damage. You know that they've just just is an onslaught on the country as
a whole. It really is a as the world now has been damaged by
them. Yeah, but two thousand and seven, because you and I started
Chicks on the Right in two thousand and nine, so by that point,
it wasn't so bad. By that point, like I thought, Okay,
surely they're going to go away. They're gonna just like fizzle out because you
know, it's going to be just a trendy thing. No one can deal
with these you know, caddy beaches for very long. They're going to just
fizzle. They have not fizzled. And then it turned into like, you
know, by that time, we'd already seen reality TV that that already sort
of hit, and they were obviously reality TV. They were just like to
the m degree. And so that was like the next phase of reality TV
because we had done like the Real World and Rivals and all that, we
had lived, Yeah, we had lived through all that crap, and and
then that was like the next phase. And so they came out of the
circuit. And then it was like the juxtaposition between the Kardashians and social media.
And they got married and they had this alien baby, awful freaking this
kid that just like, yeah, that took over everybody and it's like this
awful disease and it's like, yeah, it was like a cancer that spread
throughout the country and there was no way to control it. Now it's you
know, and it's like a it is like an alien that has spawned more
aliens. You know what back when they did. I mean I remember back
way back in our radio days when we when they people most we're making fun
of like Kim's ass, right, And I thought, well, surely,
I mean, everybody can see that it's not a normal ass, Like that's
not something that's right, that happens in the natural world. But then what
happened is that because of their influence, now everybody is trying to get that
ass. That ass everybody wants U yeah, what is even Yeah, And
it's like, I mean, like I'll even go take I take my little
old lady weightlifting class, right, and like they have a whole everything is
booty trying to get a big booty. They'll even play the songs like big
big booty, you know you want a big booty, and like it's crazy.
The culture has been so affected by these narcissistic, attention seeking, horrible
women that were spawned from a sex tape, you know, because they're attention
seeking, you know, money grubbing. Mother wanted their they she took her
daughter sexy put it out there because she wanted basically, she wanted attention.
At the end of the day, that's what she wanted. She wanted attention
and money, and she basically pimped out her daughter to get that attention and
she got it. I mean they got it. They got all the money
in the fame, and it's like spread through the whole family. And that's
where it all started. Two thousand and seven, that's where it started and
it hasn't stopped since. And I so I first and foremost blamed the Kardashians,
and then I placed blame on social media. Which there's no putting that
toothpaste back in the tube because it's like Instagram started. What twenty ten,
that's when Instagram started, So you're looking at three years later that's when Instagram
started, and then nine years later in twenty nineteen, that's when TikTok started.
Wow is it? So you know it's that old? Yeah, two
thousand and what Instagram or TikTok, TikTok twenty nineteteen is ok chiktok? Yeah?
Wow? So twenty nineteen is went because it started off as remember it
started off as musically, that's right, that's right, and then it was
bought out and then TikTok started in twenty nineteen, and so it kind of
had it. Remember it was just like doing music if people just dance and
stuff, and now it's like, you know, now it's everything. TikTok
is everything. It's like, look at everything my life. Everybody wants to
see every aspect of that thing. We're just so I've just gone through something
really devastating. So the first thing I thought to do was to grab my
camera so that everyone could exactly exactly in case impoint. We talked a little
bit about I think I don't know, was it my one of my wax
this week? This chick and I and do we know what universe? I
think it was some New York university so something Queen's and okay, it was
a university in New York and it was a community college. I think,
yeah, okay. And she grabbed the mic because she said she wasn't getting
well basically, she wasn't getting enough attention. That's exactly what she said.
I think we've got the for just to remind everybody, we've got the video
clip of her absolutely having her outburst right in the middle of her commencement ceremony.
Here it is problem. You have my moment. I want to say
my name is and I'm graduated today, sad today it's going to be all
about me. She's going to make down super fast for some black people.
I don't want to be that person, but ye, and so I think
afterwards, so once, you like, once we went through a couple of
days. Afterwards, the real story came out and she actually, you know,
people weren't giving their life stories. You know, she wasn't really shunned
at all. People were just giving their name or what ever. And that's
kind of the way that a graduation should be is you know, usually people
don't the people on the receiving end of the grudge of the diploma. They
I don't remember ever talking at all during my we read and I went and
got her diploma and moved on exactly. So I was shocked that anybody was
allowed to say anything during this ceremony to begin with. But apparently they were
saying their own names, and she didn't feel like she got enough mic time.
But people were like, no, she was in the wrong. You
know, she was being kind of a brat. And then she had to
bring up the race thing, which is just ridiculous because this has nothing to
do with the color of your skin. It's like so stupid. And then
you know, it just became this whole ridiculous, you know, melanin in
your skin thing, and that was dumb, and but that happens a lot
nowadays, right, And so she was concocting the story that never happened so
she could garner attention, and people were like, oh, this happened to
you. And this is what people do, is they get out onto social
media and they have they're basically a brand, you know, she and that's
what she is. She's I also read that she has an only fand well,
she's probably getting a huge following as a result of this. She doubled
down immediately afterwards and said it's because I'm black. You know. She did
pull the whole race car thing, and then she said she was doing it
on behalf of girls who look like her. So the best part is when,
like you said, when the real truth came out and other students started
saying, I was there, I was graduating, and this is BS.
And the best part about that was that they were other black students who were
like, she, thank goodness, we made this up. This is a
total attention grab, that's all it is. And I'm so glad that they
did that, because that's the thing and she was and that's not okay.
It's like she's using other black girls to at their detriment to get attention for
herself, which is so indicative of the culture nowadays. It's just like where
why do people do this. It's like they do it just so they can
say, look at me, look at me, look at me, which
is just so it's so agripo, right, I mean, we just see
so much of it nowadays, and if we didn't have social media, this
would be happened. Right, I'm so excited. The weather here in Indiana
is always so weird, like it'll be absolutely freezing one day and then seventy
the next day. This is just the time of year and I never know
how that's going to impact the things outside, right, the plants and the
trees and the bushes and stuff outside. My magnolia tree like ite flowered and
now everything's dropping and that's normal. But like, you know, weather is
just very unpredictable in Indiana. And you know, I have my lilac tree
right that I got from Fast Growing Trees dot Com. I'm also good,
well not yet but like because it's not time yet, but I got that
two years ago. I've had it for two seasons. The first when it
first came it's just a itty bitty baby. When I first got it was
such I can't believe she's kept it alive, you guys. Well, anyway,
what I was going to tell everybody is that the lilac tree the second
year it flowered like I got actually two lilac flowers that smelled so good,
and we're so amazing, And so I just checked on it yesterday and even
with the weather being as weird as it's been, there's tiny, itty bitty
you can tell that it's gonna leaf and flower, and I'm so super stoked.
And this is what's great about Fast Growing Trees dot Com, so biggest
online nursery in the United States. They've got more than ten thousand different kinds
of trees, two million, very very happy customers, of which we are
both a part of that group. And so right now they are offering a
fifteen percent off discount to our audience. When you go to Fast Growing Trees
dot Com and you use code Chicks, you will get fifteen percent off your
order. And if we didn't have the freaking Kardashians, this wouldn't have happened.
That's why it is a Kardashian culture with a K, and it is
because of the narcissism and then all this like resulting feeling of entitlement if you
people get rewarded right, like there's influence and they get rewarded by all their
likes and the comments, oh my god, you're so amazing, and then
they go through life thinking I'm entitled to do whatever I want, whenever I
want. And then what that creates is sort of this really reckless, outrageously
behaved populous And so I read a story I could not believe it, Like
there's so much rage now of people who if they do not get their way,
they act out in unbelievable ways. I read a story about some nineteen
year old who was at a movie theater with an older like went to the
same movie theater as another couple. There was a squabble about who actually had
the reserved seats. They were fighting over a couple of seats, and this
nineteen year old shot and killed the couple because he was mad about not getting
the seat that he wanted in a theater. And this is how much raged
everybody has become that they if they don't get what they want. It's not
just that they throw a fit, it's that they freaking murder other people,
the resorting to violence, insanity. So I read there's this article. I
read it was a study published in the journal Psychological Science, and they say
this is about narcissism. So they say, like, since twenty thirteen,
we talk about narcissism, We throw that word around, but it actually has
increased. They say narcissism among college students has increased by thirty percent on average
over the last thirty years. They say, normal narcissism is associated with increased
social media use, and one reason may be that narcissists feel more at ease
when they are praised, kind of like to your point, and social media
allows them to stay in touch with people they admire without ever having to face
them in person. Interest And they say that it is yeah, it is
likely that society will become more narcissistic as a result of the rise in narcissism
among American college students, because those kids are going to become the adults.
They're going to be the they're going to be the grown ups of the world,
and they're all going to be so freaking narcissistic that they're going to be
running things and we're gonna be like, shit out, We're gonna be aged
out, you know what I mean, And they're gonna be the ones sitting
at the grown up table. And it's like, then we're going to have
a bunch of self absorbed people trying to run things, and to your point,
like they're the ones who are going to be the ones who are ticked
off that their theater tickets are not there for them and they can't handle things
in a normal civilized manner because they're like, but me, me, me,
me, So, like, what what is society going to look like
in the next ten to twenty years when you have a bunch of people running
around thinking that they're the most important person on the plane? About it?
I mean, I would I would suggest that the reason that we have mass
shootings is because of the same kind of narcissism that people are like, I
want to be I want my name to be in the spotlight, I want
it to be on all the headlines, and so they do horrible, murderous
things. It doesn't have anything to do with a gun. It has to
do with these people's mental psychoedess culture. And it's the culture, and it
is that narcissism. I want everybody to remember me, I want my name
up in lights. It's that whole idea. And so I think that that
contributes to it. And that's really terrifying because none of this ends. Yeah,
it's and yeah, and at its basic level, it's like they can't
see beyond here. They just they they cannot see the bigger picture. And
you know, and I and dare I say. I think also has something
to do with the fact that we have lost so much. There's no faith,
there's no there's no humanity, and people have they don't care about humanity
and even themselves. Like we were talking before our morning show earlier today about
that guy that hurled himself into a running Delta plane engine in order to unalive
himself. And I'm like, because when I first heard the story, I
was like, Oh, this guy got sucked in to an engine. What
a horrible, awful, terrible way to die. And then come to find
out that was how he chose to end his own life. Can you imagine?
So he knew And that's to me that's super NARCISSI too, Like if
you're going to choose to be that big time showy about ending your own life.
You're doing that in such it's already such a selfish act. But then
to also, yes, suicide everyone around you to have to see it,
to have to deal with it. I mean, it's that's just gross in
every way. Yeah. Yeah, And then it's and and you know,
at the same vein there's there's that Alexei Trevino girl, that nineteen year old
that we've been reading about. I'm sure people have heard about her, who
you know, was the pregnant cheerleader who her mom obviously could tell that she
was freaking pregnant. Who could not who couldn't tell that the chick was pregnant.
And then she goes into the hospital and literally, like an animal,
rips the umbilical cord, kills that child. And you know, it's like
puts it in a trash at the hospital and puts it to die. Yeah,
it leaves that baby to leaves her her son to die. And so
it's like, I'm assuming it was a son. I believe it was a
baby boy. But I this is the talk about narcissism. It's like talk
about no regard for any other human life, but your own, Like,
how could how could you do that? Like? How how could? I
just don't know. I cannot wrap my brain around how somebody could do that
unless you have you've been raised in a culture where you have zero regard for
anybody else's life, right your own. And it's why the pride people don't
care about swinging their dicks around young kids. They don't care how it impacts
anybody else. They only care about eyeballs on them one hundred percent of the
time. Right, It's just nasty. Yeah, it is nasty. It's
completely nasty. And then parents will just be like, oh no, I
love my kids being out here because rainbows, yay. It's like, what
are you doing? Completely crazy? You know who else is like the probably
the poster couple for narcissists would be making oh my god, right, they
so are. I think it's finally I feel like public perception is really down
on them. I hope and maybe they'll finally go away. But I just
don't think they can. I don't think it's they are who they are.
They need it, They crave it because they want to be able to say
we want a privacy. Here is an entire documentary that we've taken of our
lives over the last four years. Yeah, and talk about making up the
script. Man, Like they just they're like the the they post your children
again for like branding of their own. They they craft their own narrative when
it has nothing to do with what reality actually is, you know what I
mean. Like they just they're like, we're going to go just make it
up as we go along. We're going to just rewrite how history is of
our lives. When it's like, seriously, I mean, they are just
writing the script of the of a life that never was. You know,
it's nuts and that's but that's what people do. And then there's so many
people that do love them. There's so many, but they're like, oh
my god. Like I mean, I think obviously they have fans. There
are people that are like, oh, I love Megan, and she's a
she's not even a duchess and people still call her a duchess. It's like
she gave that up. You can't call that chicken duchess. She crept all
over that title. And you can't call Harriet prince because he left that crap.
I mean, he takes daddy's money, but he still he left it,
you know. But I mean, these are the people. They are
just they are classic me me me, you know, all about me,
narcissists and so they're so there are perfect representations of that. If it weren't
for the fact that, like we rely on the internet for you know,
to communicate our message and to make our living essentially, I would, honestly
if something happened to the Internet at large, I would be like, maybe
that's a good thing. You know, Oh, I agree with that.
I say that a lot if I Yeah, I think because we do rely
on it. I think a lot of people rely on the internet now for
business in general, Like you can't help it. We have, yeah,
and you and I especially because of what we do, we have to be
on it. But if I could just you know, be in the woods
and hang out and on my ranch and stuff like that, I probably would
not. When we go on vacation and we get to check out, I
check out and it's glorious. It is. It really is the best.
But but yeah, I think there are people who would die without the Internet.
Well now I think everybody would like now, it's it's like getting the
power cut off, Like you can't serve. Just think about all of the
fact that our banking is online. Everything is online, Like we would literally
just fall apart as an entire sidey I'm talking about. I'm talking about they
do it because they need to see how many people have liked what they put
out there. Because they put out there, you know, look at me,
it's my oh otd or already with me? What is it you are?
Tell Yeah, it's like every single day they post something about their breakfast
or their ass. You know, it's like, so they have to see
how many people like that. That's the reason they have to be on every
day. You know, we're on every day because we're doing our podcast or
whatever. So it's a little I think it's a little. We're social commentators,
so we're not here to be like, look at me, look at
our breakfast, and look at our everything, look at our style and fashion.
It's anything I don't want people to look at it. I was like,
yeah, I was just gonna say, but we're in our fifties,
so most days we don't want we don't want people looking at our boobs now
or our fashion. As I'm like in a Humane society T shirt right now,
right, we really don't want that. We really don't. It's a
little bit different for us. But yeah, these a lot of people just
they rely on it for their self worth, which is a weird commentary on
our society. And I don't know, it's going to be interesting to see
what happens the next ten years. I, for one, I'm trying to
raise at least our youngest daughter because we have two older ones who are in
fact millennials, and they get on social but really they're not as social media
frenzied I think as a lot of millennials, they're just not. Our older
kids aren't, thank god. But but our youngest I try very hard to
keep her busy with other things besides, and she's not on social media.
The only thing that I allow her to use is monitored Instagram. I stalk
it, and that's it. That's the only thing that I allow her to
use. And it's only she likes really looking at, you know, clothing
sites because she's a teenage girl. That's it. That's the only thing she's
really but that's it. But I but she's stocked, you know, kind
of like your son has stocked. But that's you know, I I don't
know, I just I try very hard. She stays very busy with other
things. I just hope that she's not going to get warped by it all,
and then we'll just see what happens. But it's so hard to keep
kids from falling into that trap. Natfully, because my kid also uses Instagram,
but uh huh, with the exception of like sharing other people's stories from
time to time, there's not a single post MS page. He likes looking
at all the other sports stuff and lacrosse stuff, but he really posts anything.
And so thankfully he's never fallen into that trap where he gets self esteem
or self worth from other people's thoughts about his content. That's never been a
thing for him, right, thank god, that's totally mine too. Yeah,
I think our kids are a lot alike in that respect, and I
think that has to do with like keeping them off of all the other ones,
because that I think is where like, don't get him on the TikTok,
don't get them on, and then stopping that exactly when I both you
and I both are on there and we're monitoring and stalking like crazy because we're
insane like that. So but yeah, so it's going to be interesting to
see how it goes. But this is it's crazy. It's a weird phenomenon.
And it's weird when you start seeing the statistics about narcissism at all or
what that's Yeah, and what that's going to mean for our country. Yeah,
I don't want to depress everybody, and on that note, but that's
but that's just kind of weird because it's going to mean a lot for like,
you know, not just our culture, but politics and everything, so
socioeconomically everything, and so it's just going to be weird to see how that
plays because everything is down in the stream of culture everything, and like now
we're going to say, please follow us on all of our socials, right,
totally, right, So definitely, but definitely do I mean, at
least subscribe to the podcast. You guys, put that right in tool belt
and take us with you on the road trip. You'll be entertained, we
promise you should. And we won't make you look at their boobs for our
outfits of the day. Okay, we won't make you do that because we
