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 mostly were 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 it. 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 sex. They 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 it so you know it's that old Yeah, two
thousand and what Instagram or TikTok, TikTok twenty ninete eighteen is chiktok Yeah?
Wow, So twenty nineteen went because it started off as remember it started off
as musical. Oh 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 danced 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 my 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 I point. 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 or so something, Queen's something, 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 pro me go my moment. So I want
to say my name is and I'm graduated today. Snatched head today it's going
to be all about me. She's wanting to make down super fast for some
black people. I don't want to be that person, but go ahead,
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 whatever.
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 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 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. I also read that she has an only friend. Well,
she's probably gained 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 card 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 at their detriment to get attention for herself, which
is so indicative of the culture nowadays. It's just like, 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 agripah, right, I mean, we just see so much of
it nowadays. And if we didn't have social media, this would happened,
right yeah, And if we didn't have the freaking Kardashians, this wouldn't have
happened. That's why it is about 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 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 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 good 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, which is 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 maybe 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 those kids are going to become the adults.
They're going to be the they're going to be the grownups of the world,
and they're all gonna be so freaking narcissistic that they're gonna be running things and
we're gonna be like, shit own, 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, 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 plank 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 our 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 human humanity and even himselves. 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 narcissistic too, Like, if you're gonna 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 to
a subject 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 Alexi Trevina 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 this 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, talk about it 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
lifebout 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 And I think
it's finally. I feel like public perception is really down on them. I
hope and maybe they'll finally go away. 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 gonna go just make it up as we go along.
We're gonna 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 people that are 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 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's still he left it, you know. But I mean, these
are the people. They are just they are classic mime 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 to. 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 how we're cut off, Like you can't 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 side 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? 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 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
to get 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, 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 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 to use. And it's only she likes really looking at you know,
clothing sites because she's a teenage girl. That's it, thinks, 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. Thankfully, 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 on his page. He likes looking
at all the other sports stuff and lacrosse stuff, but he never 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 gurd kids are a lot alike in that respect, and I
think that has to do it, like keeping them off of all the other
ones, because that I think is where like don't get them on the TikTok,
don't get them on and then stalking exactly, and 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 all 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 done
in one of culture everything and like now we're going to say, please follow
